IMPROVEMENT IN PLOWS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 209,758, dated November 12, 1878; application filed March 25, 1878.

To all whom it may concern Beit known that I, ANDREW GOODYEAR, of Albion, in the county of Oalhoun and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Plows and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled inthe art to which it appertains showing the wheel attached to the land-side.

Fig. 2 is atop view. Fig. 3 is a section through the wheel.

The same letters are employed in all the figures in the indication of identical parts.

A is the land-side of a plow, to which are attached the lugs B B, the latter bein g formed with a vertical slot to receive a bolt, 0 by which the arm 0 is adjusted and held in such position as may be desired, turning on the bolt 0 passing through a hole in the lug B. A wheel, D, runs on a wrist-pin attached to thefree end of the lever or arm 0, and the lugs, arm, and wheel are set at such an angle that the wheel, the face of which has a double bevel, will bear both against the bottom of the furrow and the vertical side thereof. To prevent earth from falling in between the wheel and the stud on which it turns, the upper end which permit the wheel to be adjusted both vertically and laterally, so as to bear more or less on the earth orto be entirely removed.

What I claim as'my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, isv In combination with the land-side of a plow, the inclined lugs B and B, attached thereto, and adjustable arm 0, pivoted to one leg and adjustably supported in the other for adjusting the double-beveled wheel D both vertically and laterally, substantially as set forth. In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

ANDREW GOODYEAR. Witnesses:
